Your letters: Support the Paycheck Fairness Act

Do you think just because you are women you don’t deserve the same pay as a man for the same job?

For a man earning $10 a woman makes $7.70. In one 40 hour work week her pay is missing $92, that comes to $368 a month and $4,416 a year.

That is a lot to lose just because you are a women.

Furthermore, if you are an African American woman the pay is $0.64 and Latinas $0.54 to the man’s $1 per hour.

The Paycheck Fairness Act would level the playing field.

Think about how much money you are losing ($.23 per hour doesn’t sound like much but over the long haul it is substantial) about the effect that hourly difference makes in your life and that of your families:

Destroys your self-esteem.

Your children suffer.

Less pay means less of everything (food,clothing,housing, education)

Less Social Security when it is time to retire.

Less pension for retirement.

Working more hours to accommodate your needs.

More time away from your family.

Less health care benefits.

Think about how much money you are losing.

This loss is not just today, it impacts your lifetime.
